The box frame of the launch box 1 is spliced ​​by angle steel, and the aluminum plate skin on the surface is welded by C-shaped steel. It has a simple structure and a low center of gravity, which ensures the overall stability during launch.

[0012] See also Figure 2 The launch tube 2 of the present invention is provided with a front sealing cover 8 at one end of the cold ejection tube 9, and a buffer airtight chamber 11 at the other end. A connector separation device 10 is provided on the cold ejection tube 9. The positioning hole at the rear end of the buffer airtight chamber 11 is constrained and fixed with the positioning pin on the bottom plate of the launch box 1, and a launch tube power source is provided in the launch tube 2. The front sealing cover 8 is made of non-metallic material, and a prefabricated groove is engraved inside, which can be broken by the impact of the missile inside. The cold ejection tube 9 is usually used as a storage space for ammunition, and is used for cold ejection vertical launch of ammunition in wartime. The connector separation device 10 is used to retract the electromagnetic connector 20 in time when an incident occurs, so as to prevent the electromagnetic connector 20 from affecting the movement of the piston 14 in the cold ejection tube 9. The buffer airtight chamber 11 temporarily stores the high-pressure gas generated by the gas generator to ensure that the piston 14 accumulates sufficient pressure before the locking screw 18 is pulled off.

[0013] See also Figure 3 The power source of the launch tube of the present invention includes a buffer air-locking chamber 11, an air-locking chamber tail end cover 12, a mooring steel cable 13, a piston 14, a gas generator compression screw sleeve 15, a gas generator 16, a piston support 17, and a bullet-locking screw 18. The buffer air-locking chamber 11 is a container for temporarily storing the high-pressure gas generated by the gas generator, and a gas-locking chamber tail end cover 12 is arranged in the tail end of the buffer air-locking chamber 11. The gas generator 16 is installed inside the air-locking chamber tail end cover 12, and the gas generator compression screw sleeve 15 is used to compress and fix the gas generator 16, and also plays a sealing role at the rear end of the air-locking chamber. The piston support 17 is installed on the buffer air-locking chamber 11, and is used to fix the piston 14, and also undertakes the task of fixing the missile in the tube. One end of the mooring steel cable 13 is fixed on the piston support 17, and the other end is fixed on the piston 14, which is used to moor the piston 14 after the missile is ejected inside the cold ejection tube 9 to prevent the piston 14 from flying out and falling and injuring surrounding equipment or personnel, and can also be reused. The bullet locking screw 18 is used to fix the missile in the tube and the piston 14 on the piston support 17. When the missile is launched, the high-pressure gas with a certain pressure is accumulated before the bullet locking screw 18 is pulled off, providing the initial velocity of the piston during ejection.

[0014] See also Figure 4The connector separation device 10 of the present invention includes a reset spring 19, an electromagnetic connector 20, a guide rod 21, a plug-in / disconnection limit cylinder 22, a micro switch 23, a connector separation box cover 24, a rectangular connector plug 25, and a connector separation box 26. The plug-in / disconnection limit cylinder 22 is connected to the upper inner part of one end of the connector separation box 24, and the micro switch 23 is connected to the upper inner part of the plug-in / disconnection limit cylinder 22. The plug-in / disconnection limit cylinder 22 plays a guiding role in the recovery of the electromagnetic connector 20. The micro switch 23 will be triggered after the electromagnetic connector 20 is recovered in place, and an electrical signal is given to indicate that the missile can be launched. Two guide rods 21 are provided in the end of the connector separation box 24, one end of the two guide rods 21 is connected to the bottom of the connector separation box 24, and the other end passes through the plug-off limit tube 22 and is connected to the top of the connector separation box 24. The two sides of the electromagnetic connector 20 are penetrated on the two guide rods 21, and the two guide rods between the electromagnetic connector 20 and the bottom of the connector separation box 24 are respectively penetrated with reset springs 19. The reset spring 19 and the guide rod 21 are mainly used to quickly retract the electromagnetic connector 20 into the connector separation device 10 after it is separated from the socket on the missile. The rectangular connector plug 25 provided on the connector separation box 24 is connected to the electromagnetic connector 20, and the rectangular connector plug 25 is used to communicate with the launch box.

[0015] The fire control computer 7 of the present invention is installed at the bottom of the launch box, and integrates functional units such as ammunition adapter, high-precision inertial navigation, satellite positioning, weapon station integrated power management, data link, etc. Upward, it is integrated with the multi-functional ground station through the data link, receives fire control and target information, generates shooting parameters, and guides the local fire strike system to strike the target; downward, according to the upper command information, it completes key combat functions such as ammunition selection, ammunition shooting parameter binding, launch control, and weapon station status management.

[0016] The present invention also provides a data link antenna 3, a satellite positioning antenna 4, a socket support plate 5, and an integrated power management module 6 on the launch box 1. The socket support plate 5 is provided with a connector socket corresponding to the launch tube connector separation device 10. The integrated power management module 6 and the fire control computer 7 and other equipment are installed on the side of the base of the launch box 1, and an electrical / signal interface is reserved to facilitate and quickly perform electrical and signal connections with other devices.

[0017] The typical use process of a small intelligent ammunition vertical launch device of the present invention is as follows: When loading the missile, the launch tube 2 and the connector separation device 10 have been installed in advance. The missile is aligned with the piston 14, pushed backward into the cold ejection tube 9 and reaches the unplugging position, and the locking screw 18 is used to lock the piston 14 and the missile; the gas generator 16 and its gas generator compression screw sleeve 15, the air chamber tail end cover 12 are installed on the rear side in sequence, and the front sealing cover 8 is tightened on the front side to complete the missile loading. The launch tube 2 loaded with the missile is installed and fixed in the launch box 1 and the electrical connection with the launch box 1 is completed. A small unmanned boat platform is installed on the launch box with the launch tube 2 loaded, and the external electrical and power supply interfaces are connected to complete the installation of the launch device.

[0018] When in use, personnel can use the multifunctional ground station to remotely communicate and command the vertical launch device through the data link. Before preparing for launch, the fire control computer 7 receives fire control and target information, generates shooting parameters, and binds the ammunition shooting parameters. During launch, the fire control computer 7 sends a launch command, the electromagnetic connector 20 automatically disengages, and the connector separation box 26 is retracted under the action of the reset spring 19, and the micro switch 23 is triggered at the same time, giving the gas generator 16 ignition signal 16, and the gas generator 16 quickly generates a large amount of gas to accumulate in the buffer air-locking chamber 11. When the pressure of the buffer air-locking chamber 11 reaches a certain value, it will push the piston 14 to break the bullet-locking screw 18, and the piston 14 quickly pushes the missile to break through the front sealing cover 8 and eject the cold ejection tube 9, completing the launch of the missile.

[0019] The present invention integrates the launch tube 2, the launch box 1 and the weapon station fire control system into a whole, thereby improving the reuse rate of the launch control system, positioning guidance and communication devices, reducing the cost of use, reducing the dependence on the electrical system of the loading platform, and improving flexibility. It is capable of using multi-platform devices and can accurately and reliably perform mechanical, electrical and signal connections with the launch system and positioning / communication system.
